The Democratic advocate., 1887-11-26
From the Philadelphia Times.

A little folly now aud then is relishec
by the best of men.
A game is never won until it's ended.
A fair exchange is no robbery.
A burnt child avoids the fire.
A shoemaker should stick to his last.
A bad oath is better broken than kept.
A stitch in time save nine.
A short horse is soon curried.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A sitting hen never grows fat.
A watched pot never boils.
A miss is as good as mile.
A bird in hand is worth two in a bush
A smooth sea never makes skilful mar
liners.
A rotten apple infects its companions,
4 guilty conscience needs no accpser.
A drowning man catches at straws
A new broom sweeps clean.
A fool for luck.
penny saved is as good as penny earn
ed
4 dead Injun is a good Injun. IA
Westerner.
A fool and his money are soon parted,
A barking dog seldom bites,
A friend ia need is friend indeed
A stream cannot rise higher than its
fountain.
A quiet tongue makes wise head.
An idle brain is the devils workshop.
An honest man is the noblest work OF
God.
An honest confession is good for the
soul.
An ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure.
All is fish that comes to my net.
All is not gold that gitters.
All is well that ends well.
All is fair in love or war.
As many opinions as people,
As the old cock crows the young one
learns.
As the twig is bent the trees inclined
As you raise them 50 you have them
(Children).
As well be out of the world as out of
the fashion.
Artists are born, not made,
Accidents will happen in the hest of
families,
Accidents are the result of carelessness.
Always kick the dog that's under.
An old fox is not easy caught.
A cheerful spirit sweetens toll.
Better wear out than rust out.
Better let we'll enough alone.
HetteE late than never.
Better the day, better the deed,
Better have two cooks than one doctor.
Better be at the end Of q feast than at
the beginning of a fray.
Better to have the good will even OF a
dog.
Better to have two strings for one bow.
Better still to have two beaus
Be sure of a new friend before cutting
an old one,
Be sure you are right, then go ahead.
Be sure your sin will find you out.
Be Just before you are generous.
Begin. on the best and you'll always
have the best.
Bygones have no right to be heard.
Blessings brighten as they take their
aight.
Birds of o feather flock together.
Biters are sometimes bitten.
Be sure to know what you're talking
about.
Beauty is only skin deep.
Beauty is blossom:
Beauty unadorned adorned the most.
Breyity is the soul of wit,
Birth is much, breeding more.
Brag is good dog, holdfast better.
Borrowed garments never fit well.
Bought wit is the best wit.
Bricks don't make home, nor bind
ing book
Circumstances alter cases.
Creaking ships run a long while.
Competition is the life Of trade.
Corporations have no souls.
Curses, like chickens, go home to roost.
Charity should begin at home.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore.
Confessing fault half amends it,
Convince man against his will he's of
the same opinion still.
Can't get blood out of turnip.
Cut your coat according to your cloth.
Charity covers multitude Of sins.
Discomfort is snarling lap-dog.
Desperate diseases require desperate REM
edies.
Discretion Is the better part Of valor,
Dead mems shoes fit well.
Distance lends enchantment to the view.
Dead men tell no tales. lSoutherner.
Don't count your chickens before they
Matched.
Don't cross bridge until you come to
it.
Don't meet trouble half way.
Don't cook hare before you catch it.
Don't throw money into hopper
Don't swap horses while crossing a
stream.
Dropping water wears the rock.
Domestic inRelicity is thorn ia the
flesh.
Death loves a shining mark.
Dreams 60 by contraries.
Every streom finds Its own channel,
Every man is his own doctor.
Every man is supposed to know his own
business best.
Every trade has its tricks
Every dog has his day,
Every mau has his weak point.
Every tub should stand on its own bot
tom.
EyH TO him who evil thinks.
Eager ears can hear anything.
Empty wagons make the most noise.
Extremes sometimes meet.
Evil communications corrupt good man
ners.
Facts are stubborn things.
